Diego Costa

[Rekin 835]

Yes, it is actually well deserved (even if he isnt banned yet). I like him, he is a real winner, but it needs to be said that there is a line a footballer shouldnt be crossing.
Doing ankle-stomps is dangerous business, its not like throwing snot on someone but an actual psychotic thing that he really need to get out of his system.

It would be great if he could play against City as the run after that isnt terrible, but if he cant then I only hope it is Remy and not Drogba who starts the next game.

[King11Didier 916]

FA can F*ck OFF. Media did everything, even before the end of the match they were ready with their comments... But no one is talking about the bad refereeing and markovic violence....

I think Terry said that Champions League is us agains the world. But it looks like it isn't only CL is it everywhere. It is us against the world indeen....

[The Chels 2,502]

Rooney, Wilshere, or any other English media darling would've gotten off.

Cahill as well. I know that benefited us (supposedly!) but the double standards are a joke.

[lionsden 4,689]

Jose and costa both charged within the space of 24 hours. Not good. We have just as much responsibility to improve our disciplinary record. If you don't give the FA a reason or excuse to charge you, they can't

[Becks 12]

Well, it looks like a suspension is unavoidable. The question is for how many games...

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

The FA has announced that Chelsea striker Diego Costa has been charged by for violent conduct following an on-field incident which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video.

The player has until 6pm on Thursday to respond to the charge.

Following a review of an incident during the game involving Costa and Liverpool's Martin Skrtel, The FA will not be taking any further action.

Thought he couldn't appeal?

[supporter 3,088]

Many drama queens in the press, many retired players who have much need to be famous again, and many fans who hate us, they are already making a pathetic campaign for us to feel ashamed by Diego. Poor them.

Jose Diego's like, if you do not have him on your team, you hate him passionately. But if you would have him on your team, you love him passionately. And I'm very happy to love passionately Diego and Jose. It is love and pride what they produce me.

Diego is one of the US.

Football, as Rugby, is a sport of honesty and nobleness. First fight on the pitch and after the matches shake hands with rivals.

That`s Football, That's Diego.

aguero is allowed to poleaxe luiz , toure can kick out at will. no bans. ferdinand can take out our players off the ball, chelsea players slightly treads on someone, intentional or not....charged

FA are matchfixers and should be sent to prison

[Pacquiao 1,834]

Christ, how can anyone argue with the charge or say it wasn't intentional.

Ridiculous.

Your turn Remy.

please explain how it was intentional then, this should be interesting.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

A growing rivalry between Costa and Skrtel will be interesting to watch going forward. I think they grew mutual respect for each other, neither backed down.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Christ, how can anyone argue with the charge or say it wasn't intentional.

Ridiculous.

Your turn Remy.

Can you prove it was intentional? The replays are far from conclusive. Unless you're just swallowing what the media and "pundits" feed you.

Yep accident...twice in the same game

[laeth 527]

Spatial awareness is a thing. He knew what he was doing.

Says who? It's impossible to prove that.

[Spike 12,049]

Says who? It's impossible to prove that.

So it's impossible to prove therefore he didn't intend to? People are asking to prove it was intentional, well why don't you and the others try to prove that it wasn't intentional.

Because there was nothing on the field. No ruling made. They're finding something out of nothing.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

So it's impossible to prove therefore he didn't intend to? People are asking to prove it was intentional, well why don't you and the others try to prove that it wasn't intentional.

- The weak lawyer's argument.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

The FA plays by it's own rules. They hand out decisions and throw the burden of proof on the defendants to exonerate themselves. Work in a completely opposite manner as the justice system.

So, the FA doesn't have to prove it was intentional, rather we have to prove that it was unintentional.

[The Chels 2,502]

So it's impossible to prove therefore he didn't intend to? People are asking to prove it was intentional, well why don't you and the others try to prove that it wasn't intentional.

Burden of proof is surely on you.
